FM7 Release Notes: December 14, 2017

Over the past few weeks we have been investigating an issue where a small number of players’ game saves were deleted and unrecoverable if their save was corrupted or if they ran into a connected storage error. As part of our investigation, we have been closely working with the Xbox team to address the issue. In addition to recently introduced platform changes, today’s FM7 update includes a pop-up error notice that will prevent players from mistakenly deleting their game save should they enter this state.

While we believe the Xbox update will prevent players from entering this state going forward, players who receive this pop-up error in the game will be prevented from continuing in the game and will be asked to contact Forza support for further assistance. This will prevent the player from unwittingly deleting their save (though players will have the option to manually delete the save if they wish).

We regret the trouble this issue has caused for players.

In addition to the above, today’s update for Forza 7 includes the following improvements:

• Fixed an issue where players were running into black loading screens in some multiplayer and League sessions and being removed from the race.• Fixed an issue where, when entering a multiplayer lobby with Text to Speech or Speech to Text active, navigation would not be possible. In addition, players can now close the text window with use of a keyboard. • Fixed an issue with the Bugatti Type 35, which prevented it from racing in Forza Driver’s Cup races.
